INVESTMENT CONTRACT LIABILITIES Group 2021 2020 R’m R’m Level 2 fair value investment contract liabilities Linked investment contracts 4 205 3 194 Non-current 4 205 3 194 All investment contracts are designated on initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. The liabilities relating to linked contracts are measured with reference to the underlying assets linked to these contracts. PPS is contractually required to pay linked investment contract holders an amount equal to the fair value of the assets linked to these contracts. Linked contracts do not include any minimum guarantees and hence, there will be no difference between the carrying amount and the amount payable at the maturity date. Investment contract liabilities are classified as Level 2, as the assets backing up these liabilities are unit trust funds of which the fair values are derived from the unit prices published by the unit trust fund managers.
